Why are some places of accommodation called restaurants and some called hotels?

Generally speaking: hotels provide pedestrians with more upscale accommodations and dining and recreational facilities.

Restaurants provide more comprehensive and distinctive food and beverage services.

Hotels provide lodging.

But in modern times it is easy to confuse the concepts of hotel, guesthouse and restaurant. In fact, the name is not important, it is important to look at the national star rating committee to give him a few stars, that is the key!

In fact, the hotel has 5 stars, such as the Shangri-La Hotel.

The hotel also has 5 stars, such as Jinjiang Hotel.

Restaurants also have 5 stars, such as the Beijing Hotel.

So, this 3-name concept is now very difficult to distinguish, or to see how the hardware and software facilities inside them!
